What’s the difference in storage sizes?

iPad mini 2 comes in two storage sizes: 16GB and 32GB.5 The term “GB” stands for gigabytes. The more gigabytes you have, the more content you can store on your iPad mini — apps, HD videos, films, photos, books, magazines and more. If, for example, you have a large music library or you frequently download HD films, it’s a good idea to consider an iPad mini with a larger storage capacity. If you have a relatively small music or photo library or rarely make or buy films, an iPad mini with a smaller capacity may be better for you. Of course, over time you will add more things to your iPad mini, so you’ll want to think about how your storage needs may evolve.

Wi–Fi or Wi–Fi + Cellular?

Wi-Fi model: iPad connects to the Internet through a high-speed Wi-Fi network, like the wireless Internet router in your home, or the wireless hotspots you find in a coffee shop or school library. There are Wi-Fi hotspots all over the world, and iPad finds them automatically.

Wi-Fi + Cellular model: iPad can also connect to the Internet using a fast mobile network connection when Wi-Fi isn't available. So you can stay connected on the train, at the park or on a road trip. You can buy a Wi-Fi + Cellular model without a contract, and service is sold separately. See your carrier for tariff information.

Testing conducted by Apple in October 2013 using pre-production iPad mini 2 units and software. Testing consisted of full battery discharge while performing each of the following tasks: video playback, audio playback and Internet browsing using Wi-Fi or a mobile network. Video content was a repeated 2-hour 23-minute film purchased from the iTunes Store. Audio content was a playlist of 358 unique audio tracks purchased from the iTunes Store. Internet over Wi-Fi and mobile network tests were conducted using dedicated web and mail servers, browsing snapshot versions of 20 popular web pages and receiving mail once an hour. All settings were default except: Wi-Fi was associated with a network (except for Internet browsing over mobile network); the Wi-Fi feature Ask to Join Networks and Auto-Brightness were turned off; brightness was set to 50%; and WPA2 encryption was enabled. Battery life depends on device settings, usage and many other factors. Battery tests are conducted using specific iPad units; actual results may vary.
